About Me

Hi! My name is Qadoshyah and I'm the oldest of 11 kids. I live on a ranch in the beautiful country of Northeastern Oklahoma with my family. We are a large household with so many kids that we have various projects going on: We raise goats, pigs, sheep, and rabbits (I raise the rabbits - cute little mini lops) on our 44 acre ranch. Our ranch is also home to bullmastiffs, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, llamas, a donkey, a bottle calf, and several ranch dogs and livestock guardian dogs. The youngest two kids are boy/girl twins born in Feb. '05. The boy happens to have Down syndrome. He is such a blessing to our family :)! Our whole family is also gluten-free, which adds another interesting aspect to our large, active family. We also cook dairy-free & corn-free due to allergies a few kids have. Some of the family is also on the GAPS diet to restore gut health.

Yes, we have considered giving O green tea extract. I would like to do a little more research on it to be sure. But, I also want to be sure we give him a quality brand of it. So, I need to make sure on that as well.

There is one brand of green tea extract that I think is the best brand from what I have seen. That is Teavigo. From what I have researched on it, it's very pure & standardized.

I like to do a lot of research on any supplement before we start O on it. Just to be sure it is the best choice for him and that it'll benefit him a lot.

So, with all that said, it's motivating me to get on the research bandwagon for EGCG/Green Tea and hopefully start giving it to O. I know the basics of why it is beneficial, just gotta solidify it in my mind and that it is something that would be safe to give.

P.S. This post was supposed to go up a few days ago, but somehow the Google Scheduled Blog Posting blanked out. Oh well.

Thank you for a great answer to my question! I'm pretty sure we are going to start the boys on it and now that we are bringing home the girls this summer, we will start them on it as well. Thanks again!!

I think the only problem with giving green tea to our kids is that it contains fluoride. Fluoride decreases the function pituitary gland. This is not good if the child has Hypothyroidism. It is very important to find a green tea supplement that is fluoride free.
